Douluo: Unrivaled God General, Fooling Qian Renxue at the Start

Nan Feihuang stared at the crimson figure before him.

Earlier, this being had been cloaked in a shroud of red light, its true form obscured during the fierce battle. Now, its full majesty was finally revealed.

A magnificent red horse stood before him.

Its towering frame exuded power and grace, with broad shoulders and a muscular physique that resembled a living mountain. Its legs were long and sinewy, built for speed and endurance, while its presence radiated an aura of authority and raw strength.

Its sleek, fiery-red coat shimmered like molten lava, reflecting the sunlight with a dazzling brilliance that gave it the appearance of a living flame. The luster of its fur seemed almost otherworldly, as though it had been tempered by the fires of the heavens themselves.

The creature's eyes burned with intelligence and determination, its gaze sharp and unwavering. Perked ears, standing erect like blades, hinted at its extraordinary senses. Its arched neck and flowing mane lent it an air of regal nobility, a figure that seemed to straddle the line between mortal and divine.

As it moved, its gait was fluid and graceful, every step imbued with both elegance and overwhelming power. When it ran, it became a crimson blur, its movements swift and decisive, leaving trails of fire in its wake. The reverberation of its hooves echoed like thunder, a sound that resonated with the primal instincts of all who heard it, igniting fear or admiration.

This was no ordinary horse.

It was the horse—a living legend.

The king of steeds, known throughout the ages as Red Hare, the peerless mount of Lü Bu himself. It was a name revered as the epitome of speed, strength, and courage—a creature sought by countless heroes of the Three Kingdoms era, yet one that only the strongest could ever dream of taming.

"You must be my Red Hare, aren't you?" Nan Feihuang asked, his voice filled with both awe and curiosity.

When he had crossed over to this world, he brought three items with him: the Fangtian Halberd, the Dun Jia Heaven's Book, and his mount, Red Hare. While the halberd and the Heaven's Book had transformed into his martial souls, he had often wondered what had become of Red Hare.

And now, the answer was before him. It hadn't vanished—it had manifested as a soul beast.

No wonder it hadn't turned into a martial soul. Unlike the halberd and Heaven's Book, Red Hare had retained its physical form, adapting to this world's laws as a soul beast.

"Yes, Master. I've waited for this moment for so long!" Red Hare's voice rang directly in Nan Feihuang's mind, a spiritual connection forged between them. "Years ago, I sensed your presence. I wanted to find you, but..."

"But what? Why didn't you come to me earlier? If you had shown up back then, I could've accomplished so much more!" Nan Feihuang questioned, his voice tinged with frustration.

Red Hare's reply was somber. "Master, it wasn't that I didn't want to. At that time, I couldn't leave. The moment I revealed myself, I would have triggered this world's million-year tribulation. These past few years, I've been suppressing my power, trying desperately to hold it beneath the threshold. Even now, my cultivation is dangerously close to breaking through again."

Nan Feihuang's expression shifted to one of understanding. "A million-year tribulation... I see. Your cultivation has reached the divine level, and as a soul beast, the laws of this world won't allow you to ascend so easily. That explains why you had to stay hidden all this time."

Red Hare continued, its tone heavy with regret. "Master, the divine laws of this world are merciless to soul beasts. The tribulation is impossibly harsh, and my body, despite its strength, is limited by this realm. As I am now, there's no way I can survive a million-year tribulation. I've done everything I can to suppress my power, but I fear that one day, I'll lose control. When that happens, I will perish. Please, Master, help me!"

Nan Feihuang nodded thoughtfully, his mind racing. "Your situation is indeed tricky, but I do have three possible solutions. They're divided into three levels: superior, intermediate, and inferior. You can choose whichever suits you best."

"Please, Master, enlighten me!"

"Superior plan," Nan Feihuang began, "I have a technique in the Dun Jia Heaven's Book called the Golden Body Technique. It's designed to enhance physical resilience. If you can adapt it for your use, you might be able to strengthen your body enough to endure the tribulation and ascend to godhood."

"Intermediate plan: you offer yourself to me as a soul ring. But don't worry—this isn't a permanent sacrifice. Using another technique from the Heaven's Book, I can preserve your soul, transforming you into an intelligent soul ring. When I eventually ascend to godhood, I can reshape your body and revive you as my divine companion."

"Inferior plan: you forcibly cripple a portion of your cultivation to stay beneath the threshold. This would buy you time but at the cost of your potential. Your status as the King of Horses would be greatly diminished."

After hearing the options, Red Hare fell silent, contemplating its choices.

Finally, it spoke. "Master, the superior plan is too risky. The Golden Body Technique was designed for humans, not beasts. Even if it works, it would take me at least two decades to fully cultivate it, and I don't have that much time. My suppression can only last for seven or eight more years at best."

"The inferior plan... I cannot accept it. I am the King of Horses! I will not lower myself to such cowardice, even if it means my death!"

"Thus, I choose the intermediate plan. Becoming your intelligent soul ring and companion aligns with my purpose. But, Master, your current strength is far too low to handle the power of my soul ring."

Nan Feihuang smiled knowingly. "Don't worry, I've already thought of that."

With a thought, he summoned the Dun Jia Heaven's Book, flipping to the section on techniques.

The book contained two solutions. The first was a soul-defense technique to protect one's spirit during the fusion process, ensuring that Red Hare's transformation into an intelligent soul ring would not harm either party.

The second was a sealing technique, far more advanced than the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion's method. This technique could temporarily suppress Red Hare's cultivation, reducing its soul ring's power to a manageable level.

Unlike the Ice Jade's seal, this method was absolute. If Red Hare's power were sealed to the thousand-year level, it would appear as a purple soul ring, with only one skill accessible. As Nan Feihuang grew stronger, the seal would gradually weaken, allowing the ring to evolve into black, then red, and finally gold.

"This should work," Red Hare admitted after reviewing the techniques. "However, I'll need a few more years to compress my soul power properly. Until then, I'll continue suppressing my breakthrough."

Nan Feihuang nodded. "That's fine. I'll use this time to strengthen myself as well. By the time you're ready, I'll be strong enough to handle your power."

With their plan set, Nan Feihuang glanced at Qian Renxue, who was still unconscious on the ground. He sighed. "Let's get out of here first. There's much to prepare for."
